Mountain Doo is a search and rescue puppy in training with People Are Worth Saving (PAWS) Search Dog Alliance in Joplin. The organization is made up entirely of volunteers dedicated to assisting with search and rescue and educating the public about the benefits of using K-9s.

Mountain Doo’s owner/handler, Rob Lewis, became involved in K-9 search and rescue after being trapped in his collapsed apartment during the Joplin tornado on May 23, 2011.

Sparkles II is part of Clarksville firefighter Danya Hilton’s group of fire safety dogs that educate children about fire safety.

Hilton has shared fire safety tips on PBS KIDS and published a children’s book featuring the original Sparkles.
